on a recent visit to Cannock war graves I noticed the buildings were fitted with copper down pipes,I have never seen these before and am a bit surprised given the scrap value that they even exist

That is very unusual , it looks brand new and must have cost a lot and will be gone soon, the gypo's can smell copper and brass a hundred miles away,

Looking at the patina on the existing Copper Roof, it looks like it’s been there for a number of years👍

Don't mention the war!
Seen old copper drain pipes in Czech Republic with soldered joints.
